Patent EP-0915027-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KURITA KEIGO
IPC: B29C65/02
Filed: 1998-11-10
Abstract: A container mouth (21) is sealed with an inner seal which comprises a reseal liner (9)
fitted inside of a cap (23) and a seal cover (10) separably laminated to the reseal liner
and remaining on the container mouth after the container (20) is uncapped. The seal
cover comprises a metal foil (5), a glassine paper (7) layered on the underside of the
metal foil, and a hot-melt adhesive layer (8) coated on the underside of the glassine
paper by gravure roll coating process. A polyethlene film (6) is preferably layered
between the metal foil and the glassine paper to provide a better peel-off
strength
therebetween. The glassine paper may be replaced with an easy-peelable plastic film,
such as a PET (polyethlene terephthalate resin) film. The inner seal fitted in the cap
is placed onto the container mouth, and then the cap is subjected to a high frequency
of 20-600 KHz to melt the hot-melt adhesive layer, whereby the seal cover
hermetically seals the container mouth. The seal cover separates from the reseal
liner when the container is first decapped, and is relatively easy to be peeled off to
open the container mouth.

IPC: F03H1/00
Filed: 1998-12-11
Abstract: A spacecraft includes a thruster coupled to an outward-facing portion of
each solar array such that the thruster plume faces outward from the spacecraft.
With the thruster located outboard of any erosion-sensitive surfaces on the
spacecraft, the thruster exhaust is directed away from the spacecraft. Since
canting of the thrusters is no longer required, the mounting of the thruster in the
outward-facing portion of each solar array increases the effective Isp of the
thruster. A thruster drive assembly is coupled to each solar array, adjacent to the
thruster, for positioning the thruster such that any thruster exhaust is directed away
from the spacecraft. A central supply tank is conveniently coupled to a central body
portion of the spacecraft for providing a common propellant supply to each of the
thrusters.

Abstract: The gas tap consists of a housing (10) with an inner valve (24) which seals against a seat (26). A handwheel (36) is used to operate the valve and a stem (22) transmits the movement of the handwheel to the valve. The valve is situated so that it is held against the seat by the pressure of the gas, while the handwheel is equipped with a double-threaded bush (38). The bush has one thread which causes it to move axially when rotated by the handwheel and another which runs in the opposite direction and has a different pitch to modify the effect of the first thread on the valve.

Abstract: In accordance with this invention, a
photographic film especially suited for motion imaging
film applications such as motion picture film or
television film has on one side of a support material,
in order, a process surviving, electrically conductive
subbing layer, a photographic emulsion, and a
protective overcoat; and on the opposite side a carbon
black-containing backing layer, and optionally, a
lubricant that overlies the backing layer. The carbon
black-containing layer provides antihalation and
antistatic protection for the unprocessed film. The
conductive subbing layer retains its antistatic
properties after processing so that the motion imaging
film is protected from the generation of static charge
after the carbon black-containing layer is removed
during processing. The conductive subbing layer has a
resistivity of less than 5 x 10 9  Ω/□ after film
processing.

Abstract: A hashing method and apparatus uses a hash function that can be modified in real time
by a hash control code (20). The hash function involves the combining together of
multiple bit-shifted versions (25A,25B,25C) of a multi-bit input (10) to produce a
transformed value (27) from which the hash output (14) is formed. The hash control code
(20) is used to set the number of input versions (25) used to produce the transformed
value (27) and their respective degrees of bit-shifting. The lashing method and apparatus
may be used in executing processor branch instructions where the identity of an item to
be accessed occupies a search space that varies in size and degree of population between
different branch instructions.

Abstract: To separate dirt and impurities and other debris from fiber materials, and especially raw cotton, a sensor system (2) is used to detect the foreign matter in the fiber flow channel (1) carried in an air stream. The sensor triggers a mechanism to eject the foreign matter by air bursts to blow it through an opening (7) into a waste collection container (8). The sensor system (2) to detects foreign matter in the fiber flow channel (1) carried in an air stream. The sensor triggers a mechanism to eject the foreign matter by air bursts to blow it through an opening (7) into a waste collection container (8). The volume of the waste collection container (8) is increased at least during the duration of an air pulse, or air is extracted from the container (8) through an air suction opening (11). An air movement system is activated to extract a volume of air from the collection container (8), and the extracted air is returned to the fiber flow channel (1) or it is passed into an outflow channel (20). An underpressure source is connected to the waste collection container, for the air extraction by suction. The volume increase or air extraction at the waste collection container (8) is triggered by the sensor system (2), and the action is maintained for the duration of a compressed air burst. An Independent claim is included for a fiber cleaning assembly, where the waste collection container (8) has a system to increase its volume or extract air (14) from it temporarily, to compensate for the volume of air blown into it while foreign matter is ejected from the fiber flow channel. Preferred Features: The waste collection container (8) is linked to the underpressure source through a controlled barrier (15). A control (12) activates the operating units, in response to signals from the sensor system (2). At least one flow guide plate (10) is within the waste collection container (8).

Abstract: A method of marking or forming a transparent window in an article 6, such as a security document, is provided in which areas of opacifying layers of printed ink 8, 10 on opposite surfaces of a polymeric film or substrate 12 are irradiated by laser radiation 4 of a selected wavelength. The opacifying layers 8, 10 have greater absorption characteristics for the laser radiation than the film or substrate 12 which is substantially transparent to the selected wavelength of the laser radiation so that after ablation of the area of printed matter 8 on one surface, the radiation passes through the substrate 12 substantially unaffected to ablate the area of printed matter 10 on the opposite surface. In the resultant article, the markings or windows formed by the areas of printing removed from each surface of the substrate 12 are in register, and provide a deterrent against counterfeiting.

Abstract: A composition containing polyunsaturated fatty acid glycerides is purified by means of supercritical fluid fractionation in one or more countercurrent columns operated either with internal reflux achieved by a temperature gradient along the column or with an external reflux achieved through external regulation of the pressure, and using as the solvent a mixture of supercritical CO2 and a polar co-solvent. Oligomeric and malodorous impurities in particular can be successfully removed by this process, which also can, if desired, be followed, or preceded, by another supercritical fluid fractionation with supercritical C02 under conditions adjusted so as to favor fractionation of the glyceride components.

Abstract: The invention concerns modular construction of a retainer system which simultaneously can serve both for retaining and temporary storage. The design calls for a few basic elements which can be attached like "lego" and are always based on the same connecting elements (23). However, the design includes both lengthways and crossways coupling. This enables linear, star-shaped and web-shaped retainers to be constructed. The basic element consists of light-weight tubular canisters which serve as containers (13) for the dual sealed tubes folded into themselves. The length of the dual sealed tubes can be adapted to the particular situation and ranges, for example, from 5-100 meters. In the case of large-scale accidents, the new system can be combined with the heavy state-of-the-art retainers. However, it is particularly suited for smaller and medium oil spills, in the course of which the collection and skimming of oil can be particularly well optimized.
